Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 1939. Torikata, W., Yokoyama, E., and Kitamura, M. Jan. 23. Electric oscillations, producing; spark-gap apparatus.-The initial resistance of a sparkgap is broken down by the voltage produced by a self-acting interrupter. The spark-gap G may have one or both of its electrodes influenced by an electro-magnet W in the supply circuit, so as to maintain the gap at constant length and produce uniform oscillations. When the supply circuit C, D is closed, current flows through the inductance F, magnet W, interrupter Z, and resistance R. When the armature O is attracted, the induced voltage breaks down the gap G, so that current then flows through the inductance F, magnet W, gap G, and resistance R. The magnet W keeps the armature O attracted, and acting on the armature 1 keeps the gap G of constant length. Specification 10,823/12 is referred to.

Abstract: 27,617. Morrison, W. Aug. 12, [Convention date]. Electro - magnetic clutches; brush - holders; commutators.-A dynamo-electric clutch for use on automobiles &c. is so designed that the slip between the armature F on the driven shaft B and the field magnet D on the driving-shaft A is as low as possible, the current generated being utilized to charge a battery. The speed of the driven shaft is varied by altering .the speed of the engine or by the use of variable gears, the circuit connexions of the machine being unchanged while it is operating as a clutch. The dynamo-electric clutch is used as a motor driven from the battery to start up the engine. The commutator brushes Q are pressed radially upon the inner circumference of the commutator by spring-pressed arms T, the friction between the commutator and brushes tending to compensate any tendency for increased slip between the armature and field magnet. The commutator is carried on a series of arms K bolted to the armature. Current is conveyed to the clutch parts by means of brushes 6, 7, 8, 9 bearing upon concentric collecting-rings 1, 2, 3, 4 mounted on the casing C. Fig. 3 shows the circuit connexions of the armature A<1>, fieldmagnet coils F<1> ... F', arid the battery units B<1> ... B<4>. A separate engine - starting controller 90 and a clutch controller 91 are used, these being operated preferably by the mechanism described in Specification 5792/13, [Class 38(v), Electric switches &c.]. The circuits of one controller are open when those of the other controller are closed, and vice versa. When operating as a dynamo-clutch, Fig. 5, the battery is charged with all its units in parallel, and groups of the field-magnet coils are connected in parallel. For operating as a motor, Fig. 4, the battery units are connected in series. and the two groups of field-magnet coils are placed in series. Specification 21,612/12 also is referred to. The field-magnet may be on the driven shaft and the armature on the driving- shaft.
